My new Kubota tractor LX4020 has different flat faces connectors than my other Kubota tractor. The male and female connectors have no tapered threads. The male connectors seal with a rubber o-ring and the female connectors seal with a flat copper washer. What type of flat faced hydraulic connectors are these.

Are we talking about the threads where the hoses connect? If so I would guess ordinary flat face couplers with SAE and BSPP ports.

A picture would help clarify the question.

If at all helpful, here are the flat face connectors I have. Same ones on B2601 and LX4020, so the Grapple can be used on either. (Pic is of the B2601)

I dont think thats the end he is talking about.

Looks to me like your couplers have SAE o-ring ports on the tractor end. I think thats his concern.

I wouldn't think how they connect to the tractor matters, as long as the coupling side (male/female) is compatible with your equipment. and polarized correctly.

The man is confused about what he hasband how they connect matters if he is installing them. He has never been back so I guess he figured it out.

Now I am going to go check mine and make sure they are polarized correctly :unsure:
